Discuss Lower Control Arms here

Yeah, once I get the proper funds then I'll go for it. Right now it looks like I'm going to get SFC's. Maybe KYB adjustable shocks and struts soon then the MM LCA's. I was also considering a TC when I'm finished with school and all. I've heard a lot of good things about PA.

I recommend MM SFC's & their adjustable LCA's, as well as everything they make.....But if u plan on going to the track, the poly bushings in the Heavy Duty LCA's will blow out sooner or later. I speak from experience because Ive replaced my driver side bushing twice already....

I blew my 3 part Steeda bushings out on the street (with NA power). I am just running some off the shelf, 'available on a Saturday from the local speed shop', Hotchkis LCAs now, but I'll eventually step up to the extreme duty's from MM - yeah, they are $340, but this is your suspension, your tie to the road. One shouldn't compromise with no-name or Ebay quality parts here.

I'm running MM SFCs and couldn't be happier with them. They take a little more effort (welding) to install them, so you might end up paying a few bucks more for the labor, but the fit, being that the parts are welded together on YOUR car, not on a jig, is that much better. You won't be disappointed.

See my pics below - understand that there is nothing but flexable floorboard tying the front and rear subframes together. The first pic shows the SFCs and the distance they cover from front to back (the back connecting point is just out of range of the lens). But you can imagine how much these are needed to strengthen the car. The second photo also gives you an idea of the length of FULL Length subs...don't skimp or compromise here. Get the good stuff, MM. These really aren't expensive at all.

Nice looks like I'll be getting the MM SFC's very soon. How much was the welding labor?

The MM sfc's are excellent quality! They will give your car a nice tight feel all around. Luckily, a friend of mine is a welder so I got mine done for a 12 pack!

Nice with the 12 pack Did you get the bare steel or the power-coated black?

I just got the bare steel and painted them before I got them put on. They've been on for a year or so and no signs of rust.

Sweet! I see them for about a little less than a $100. Hopefully labor won't be that much.

the MM LCA's end opposing the urethane bushing has a spherical end that flexes/rotates to some degree if i read it right. They should be fine, who doesn't have a lowered car that puts this kind of suspension in?

Plus i know where yo can get the XD's $309 shipped

I put MM LCAs on a stock height 04 Mustang GT. You'll notice a harsher ride but only for the first week or so. After that, it becomes "normal". I noticed the rear end doesn't kick sideways as much when I do burn outs.

About as much as the SFCs themselves I paid, I think, $100...as stated, it's labor intensive, but it makes for a custom fit that is well worth it.

I knew there was a catch I'm going to see if I can find a someone I know that has a welder and see if they can hook me up.
